<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Interpretivists,<BR>
<BR>
fyi for those attending APSA in Boston at the end of the summer, as well as other interested persons, we have another stellar lineup of methods topics and talent!<BR>
<BR>
We've run into what we hope will be a temporary glitch in the posting on the APSA website -- they got persons' names, but not their topics -- and we are working to sort this out. (For those of you who received the Spring 2008 QMMR (Qual and Mixed Methods) section's newsletter, the listing there is full and accurate.)<BR>
<BR>
Here is the lineup -- hope to see many of you there! We also have a Short Course on writing (up) interpretive research (Wednesday morning, 9.30-13.00, 27 August) and hope to have a Working Group on interpretivism; stay tuned for those announcements.<BR>
